Two days before PSG/Nantes, the absences from both camps become clearer and the Parisian group could have several absences. Antoine Kombouaré recovers three important players for this match on the 13th day of Ligue 1.
Left to rest on Wednesday the day after their 1-0 defeat in Munich, the PSG players trained this Thursday morning from 11 a.m. under a beautiful sun near the PSG Campus. They will have a new training session this Friday at the same time, the last before hosting FC Nantes on Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes (9 p.m.) as part of the 13th day of Ligue 1.
Presnel Kimpembe et Gonçalo Ramos made their comeback in the group against Bayern and the Portuguese even came on at the end of the match, playing his first minutes since August. The French central defender was not on the scoresheet against the Bavarians and there is little chance that he will play against Nantes, even if he could appear in the group since he trained again this Thursday with his partners .
Victim of a virus last week, Lucas Hernandez could still be missing against Nantes this Saturday given that he has just returned from a long injury, just like Senny Mayuluaffected during the international break with the France U20 team and expected to be absent until next week. Unlike the match against Toulouse, PSG has no suspension for the visit of Nantes.
Nuno Mendes preserved against Nantes?
While those around him have indicated that he has not yet fully recovered from his intestinal virus contracted during the international break, Gianluigi Donnarumma was on the bench in Munich on Tuesday evening. This Thursday, he was also present at training and should therefore be in the squad against Nantes given that he was a substitute in the Champions League, and not out.
Hit in the ankle during the last break and forfeited against Toulouse last week, Nuno Mendes played 90 minutes against Bayern Munich, but remained on the ground at the final whistle before being attended to by medical staff. The Portuguese left-back was present in the photos of the day's training broadcast by PSG (he also shared the photo on Instagram), but it would not be surprising if he was preserved against Nantes, particularly because he was exhausted at the end of the match.
Several returns and only one major absentee for Nantes
Remaining on a series of 9 matches without a victory and 4 defeats in a row, FC Nantes is at its worst, but Antoine Kombouaré is holding on for the moment. The Canaries coach also recorded three important returns in view of the match against PSG. His central defender Nicolas Spherical is back from suspension and was able to train normally this week after being injured last week in training.
Used as a right back since the start of the season, Marcus Coco was unable to play last week against Le Havre due to stomach aches, but will also make his return against PSG, just like Welsh winger Sorba Thomaspreserved last week following his late return from selection.
Worrying 16th in Ligue 1, FC Nantes will on the other hand be deprived of their Zimbabwean striker Tino at the Parc des Princes Little boyvictim of a quadriceps injury. This is the only big absence expected for Nantes which, like PSG, has no suspension for this match on the 13th day. The young Franco-Comorian striker Adel Mahmoud (21 years old) has been absent since last summer due to a serious knee injury.
